On holiday and too much rain =

**nismo** · 08-03-2008, 16:05

A bit more progress made.

Thanks to Petrol

All the engine bay brackets are now plated..

Also the rear quarters are now on and nearly ready for paint.

As you can see I have flared them out at the bottom by 40mm to give it a 'fat' look

Also I have started on the front bumper by filling in the indicators and opening up the front by 40mm to allow for more cooling.

**Mr G** · 08-03-2008, 18:28

Looking good.

Quick question; Apart from sealing the Seams

what is the point of seam sealer? Will you be replacing it all afterwards?

**nitrodave** · 08-03-2008, 19:03

Seam sealer stops the water from seaping in to the joints.. I have replaced what i have removed but I have tried to do it a bit neater than nissan did
